Zelenskyy: Putin will come to negotiating table when Ukraine dominates the skies
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called on partners to help protect Ukrainian airspace, noting that if Ukraine dominates the skies, it could force Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged his allies to bolster Ukraine's aerial defense capabilities, asserting that securing command of the skies could compel Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate. Zelenskyy emphasized that the United States possesses the technological means to achieve this objective, and that extending aid to Ukraine incurs no financial burden.
Speaking to reporters in Pryluky on Thursday, the President stressed that Putin would have "nothing left" should he be forced to abandon his military campaign in Ukraine. Zelenskyy dismissed the suggestion of engaging Chinese entities as a viable alternative to Western satellite communications, emphasizing that Ukraine is actively developing new air defense systems.
He declined to disclose further details, but confirmed that Ukraine has identified countries with relevant defense technologies and is collaborating with government and defense officials to implement these measures.
